About This Quiz
"I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me too!" If you're looking for a "Friend," look no further than this quiz! For those who have spent loads of their free-time binge-watching TV shows, this is the quiz for you! From Friends to Stranger Things, how many of these TV shows can you identify from a screenshot?
When people use to think of their favorite TV shows, their minds would immediately go to primetime TV. You might've been tuning into NBC to watch The Office or Friends. Maybe you preferred to watch The Simpsons or Glee on FOX. Somewhere in the 1980s, another competitor joined the game. HBO began broadcasting its first series in 1983. Netflix was first released in 1997 but wouldn't release its own original series until 2013.Â
While TV originally started on the major broadcasting networks, it has quickly grown to other channels and platforms. How many of their shows can you recognize?
Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross were always settling in for a cup of coffee at Central Perk. Can you remember them? In the Netflix series, Stranger Things, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Eleven are teaming up to save Will from the Demogorgon. Are they recognizable?Â
These two shows are some of the biggest of TV's past and present. Can you identify them? Are you ready for a binge-watching session or did you forget to pay your cable bill?
